Panama mayor again the target of Martinellis concerns

Panama’s president Ricardo Martinelli, has once again urged the mayor of Panama City, Bosco Ricardo Vallarino, and the Municipal Department of Urban and Household Cleaning (DIMAUD) to do their job of collecting garbage.

Martinelli’s latest call was made on Wednesday, August 4, during a tour of medical centers.

It was reported that each of the district representatives of Panama had rented two trucks and a backhoe to pick up trash in their townships to give support to. DIMAUD, which has 36 trucks to collect waste in the capital.

Martinelli has repeatedly criticized Vallarino and his lack of management skills during his first year in office, but says he cannot call on the mayor to resign as he was elected by the people who in recent polls, show they are dismayed by his performance. {jathumbnail off}
